What's wrong with you "guys", couldn't you decode the 1 as + and 2 as -.
Actually after reading Mike's message I relooked at my worksheet, I mean
copy of the chapter, and a big light bulb went off. Suddenly the math made
sense, too bad it could not have happened earlier in my life. If only I
could have had teachers like Mike who could explain math in such a way that
it would make sense.
